I’m Alicia

hey there

You know before you are a parent, when people tell you with a sad smile, “time goes so fast when you have kids!”? You nod and agree, without fully knowing how fast it actually goes. But then you have kids of your own, and your days are full—fuller than you ever imagined—and suddenly, you’re enrolling them into kindergarten, and no, I’m not crying, there’s just dust in my eye. It’s wild: you spend so much of your time in the throes of chaos, almost wishing the days, months, and years away, and suddenly your baby isn’t your baby anymore, and you want it to slow down.

Well, you can. Not literally (that would be an amazing superpower), but with images that capture your little people exactly as they are at this very moment in time. That longed-for bump you cradled so desperately for nine months, frozen in time. The way your partner looked at you when you exchanged vows, just the two of you on that windswept hill. We can’t stop time, but we can freeze it for just a moment. And then have tangible evidence that it actually happened.

I’m a mum of four incredible kids, so I know what your days look like. They’re similar to mine—chasing after tiny people, picking up toys, being the snack provider 24/7. It’s wondrous and exhausting, but I’m here for all of it. And I’m here for you too, to help you remember this time by capturing your beautiful season.

When I’m not mumming, or photographing (meaning, the extra 10 minutes I have every day), you’ll find me enjoying an iced coffee or three (hello, lifeblood of parenthood), simple quiet weekends with trips to the coffee shop on scooters, and getting away with my family when we can.

My sessions are relaxed and candid. If your kids are anything like mine, I know that getting them to stay still for three seconds is impossible, so I go with the flow, take their lead, and create beautiful memories that your family can treasure forever. I’m here for families who like to have a bit of fun, for the pregnant mama who wants to remember what it felt like to have their babe safe in their first home, and for the squishy newborn goodness, a stage so fleeting you forget it ever truly happened. I’m also here for the couples who want to embrace the beauty of their love in the most authentic way—whether it’s an intimate elopement or a carefree engagement, capturing your love story just as it is now.

I’d love to get to know you, your family, or your partner. Let’s make these beautiful memories together.

CLIENT LOVE

“We had the absolute best experience with Alicia for our maternity photoshoot! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which meant the world to us, especially since we had no previous experience with photoshoots.

Alicia guided us so naturally and made the entire session feel easy, intimate, and fun. Her calm, warm energy created such a special atmosphere, and it really shows in the beautiful photos she captured!

We’re so happy with how everything turned out and honestly can’t wait to book our newborn shoot with her soon! Thank you Alicia, for such a magical experience!”
